Ricochet Days Album Lyrics

Rainbows End

Are you sleeping with the stars tonight or are you blue with cold leaving imprints on your forehead The floor is cracked and old Nice and easy See the city the boys are clothed in threads of gold Rainbow's end for lost souls

Rooms to let in Rainbow's End There's always some Rooms to let in Rainbow's End There's always more than one

Wake up to another high day (it's a high day) Open front or quick in the back Just like seeing your hips sway It's over don't look back

Rooms to let in Rainbow's End There's always some Rooms to let in Rainbow's End There's always more than one (x2)

Repeat 1st Verse

Repeat Chorus to fade

Machines

Old machinery's broken down There's no new past There's no new sound What would you do if they crumbled to the ground Wake up you must be dreaming

Changes in our lives We'll make it in the end Machinery's broken in two What are we to do?

Where were you when the day caved in It seemed the streets were the place to be Something quite disturbing filled the air (Wake up you must be dreaming) Quite an uneasy feeling

Machine fell down and smashed the ground People cried for miles around (What about tomorrow?) Someone said Wake up you must be dreaming (a quite uneasy feeling)

Changes in our lives We'll make it in the end Machinery's broken in two What are we to do? x2

What are we to do? x5

Changes in our lives We'll make it in the end Machinery's broken in two What are we to do? x2

When the day came roundI looked about, you were nowhere to be found

What are we to do? (wake up you must be dreaming) repeat to fade out

Spinning Me Round

When someone close is always on your mind A memory of a place, another day and time Some would say you died and left your heart behind But it's with your heart you're searching all the time

I want you with me I need you near me I want so much from you anew

The dreams we had were rather common line And in their wake there came the fear you'd change your mind

Come on down with me I'll show you sights you've never seen The end is near for you and for me

Come inside and feel There's so much here and something tells me it's for real Hiding behind the walls and windows Keeping away from the questions on your tongue

In a room in a house in a dream No one's too sure whose dream it is we're living in If it's real, that's a brand new deal Ricochet days welcome to reality (x2)

Radio holds your confidences You're never quite on your own A secret kept in silhouettes Something eats you deep inside

In a room in a house in a dream No one's too sure whose dream it is we're living in If it's real, that's a brand new deal Ricochet days welcome to reality (x2)

The walls move in and cramp your comfort Windows aren't for looking through

Someone called your name but your name was a stranger to you It doesn't matter doesn't matter Take me by the hand this is all I can offer you , oh, oh (repeat to fade)

Hands Across The Sea

Come with me Close your eyes and touch what greets you there Reaching out Stretch your hands across the sea (x2)

Sitting in my room, nothing much to say I heard you calling a thousand miles away I did not mean to hurt you, you took me by surprise There is still a chance if we just close our eyes

Oooooh lady (x2)

Come with me Close your eyes and touch what greets you there Reaching out Stretch your hands across the sea (x2)

I can't explain this feeling I won't begin to try There is still a chance if we just close our eyesOooooh lady (x2)Come with me Close your eyes and touch what greets you there Reaching out Stretch your hands across the sea (repeat to fade)

Blue Waves

Is it something in the water Did it fall from out the sky I've never known a feeling like it I wonder why

I've got the power to stop the blue wavesThat way I'm winning and it helps me through the night It means so much for me to doI've got the power to stop the blue waves

Why do I feel so peculiar Do I look a little strange Who's that smiling in the mirror, it's me I've got the power to stop the blue wavesThat way I'm winning and it helps me through the night It means so much for me to doI've got the power to stop the blue waves

Hey there what's your name I feel that I should talk to you Hey there what's your game I've never seen the sky so blueI've got the power to stop the blue wavesThat way I'm winning and it helps me through the night It means so much for me to doI've got the power to stop the blue waves (x2)

Heart

Here's the news for the special day He's lost his love the warm feeling has gone away It leaves him colder than the night No rhyme or reasoning will help tonight

And though he's staring at the wall again He knows that it's not over

Heart in him, we feel it Heart in him, he'll need it To find the words to say when love comes round again

Something stirred in his heart today Felt the need to hold her in his arms again It seemed to make no sense at all Just when the ice was melting

And though he's staring at the wall again He knows it's far from over

Heart in him, we feel it Heart in him, he'll need it To find the words to say when love comes round again

Love is all that, all that we deserve Love is all that, all that we deserve

They met and talked all night Candlelight and accusation Mistakes misunderstandings, stupid human failures It doesn't matter when you're born with love

And though he's feeling rather small again He knows it's far from over He’s not just leaning on that wall againThis time he’ll push it over

Heart in him, we feel it Heart in him, he'll need it To find the words to say when love comes round again (x2)

Chapter 12

Have you seen the book today It's full of lies again Your name stands out so clear The signature is there It's always true This book they write for you They'll never let you be yourself today (x2)

Have you seen the book today It'll be the same tomorrow Yesterday I stole a look It always seems the same It's always true This book they write for you

They'll never let you be yourself today (x2)

The page they're on is never clear Teaching all the way Chapter 12 is quite sincere Even though it's yesterday

It's always true It's always true It's always true This book they write for you It's always true This book they write for you

They'll never let you be yourself today (x4)The page they're on is never clear Teaching all the way Chapter 12 is quite sincere Even though it's yesterday

It’s always trueThey'll never let you be yourself (x4)

Ringing In The Change (B-side)

Complete new changeA fighting rageNothing could be clearerKnuckle downLet’s march aroundLeaders of the same

What’s new for youNot much left his speech will doWhat’s new for youThe public face is there for you

Torn between the liars and the games they playIt goes round and round again (x2)

Subtleties seek remedies Shall we make a planStand in line more bloody timesShall we sit here in silence

What’s new for youNot much left his speech will doWhat’s new for youThe public face is there for you

Torn between the liars and the games they playIt goes round and round again (x6)

It goes round and round again (x4)

Ringing in the change (x4)

It goes round and round again (x4)

Reflection (B-side)

'Twas a bright coloured morning All reflection and brain The horizon interrupted my drawing Feeling low low low low low (x4)In the fire Now's the turnaround Here's the warning Have you seen too much today Coming, going from the world againTreat you to the viewNothing new Never, never go wanting

Stealing hearts awayWhat a rainy dayNo, no, no nothing (x2)

Keeping it with youNothing comes of painNo, no, no nothing

Feeling low low low low low (x4)In the fireSeeking, no, noNothing is thereIn the fireNothing, no no no In the fire

Nothing (repeat to fade)

Breaking Away (demo)

Long days and stormy weather The same old road today There's only one way up or down Be free was all they said to me And now I'm breathing in again

Breaking away run run run away (x2)

Just here and gone another day With nothing much to say There's only one way in or out Be free was all they said to me And now I'm breathing in again

Here it comes again for all to see Make way for old hypocrisy There's only way right or wrong Be free is how you're meant to be And now I'm breathing again

You know it (x4)

Breaking Away, run run run away (x4)You know it (x2)Breaking Away, run run run away (repeat to fade)
